CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
There three big ways in which China's geography is changing. China is facing desertification in some areas and facing deforestation in other.
Desertification
Because of climate change and human economic activity, deserts have been growing as well as becoming drier and hotter. The areas around deserts are now themselves becoming deserts, thus expanding the desert area. Desertification is a big issue for our homeland of China. Before the outbreak of zombies, desertification affected 400 million people.
Soil Erosion
Another big problem that China faced prior to the zombie outbreak was soil erosion. Soil erosion generally happens due to agricultural activity because of the demand that agriculture has on the soil. Thus, the soil becomes infertile. However, it was not only happening in rural areas but also in cities near mines and factories. Experts say that around 40% of China's soil suffered from soil erosion.
